THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN

Saricks says
Students will reason
Ambrose Saricks, co-chairman of the Student-Faculty Committee on University Governance, stated a recent newspaper editorial wrongly suggested some students indicated to him they didn't want to reason with the faculty.
Steel meet ends today
Seventy-five union representatives and leaders from the Greater Kansas City and Missouri will conclude the 22nd annual Steel-workers' Institute here today.
Concentrating on union history and organization, communications, and labor legislation, the Institute sessions are taught by KU faculty and visiting labor consultants.
OTHER VISITING lecturers will be Paul S. Williams, labor consultant, Chicago; Edward A. Disch, organizer, Communications Workers of America, Evanston, Ill.; and V. Iden Reese, Kansas City Junior College.
This institute was one of the first sponsored by the United Steelworkers of America on a college campus and is one of the oldest continuous programs on the University Extension schedule.
KU faculty members are: E. C. Buehler, professor emeritus of speech; and Arvid M. Zarley, assistant professor of economics.
Union representatives attend classes according to the number of years they have attended the Institute. Each year the classes are more advanced. The third-year group meets as a seminar.
Coordinator for this year's institute is Irwin E. Klass, communications counselor for labor organizations, from Chicago, Ill. He will conduct two classes.
Business up at CRES
Firms that are unable to conduct their own research are turning increasingly to CRES.
Created in 1959, the Engineering Science Division of the Center for Research, Inc., has seen its annual volume go from $50,000 to well over a million dollars, an indicator of its role of service to business and industry.
Research through CRES can be sponsored through cooperative agreements, research grants, and special contracts, the current Kansas Business Review explains.
The BETA (Business-Engineering Technical Applications) program was organized three years ago. Graduate students in engineering and business administer this program.
THEIR FUNCTION is to supply answers to business and industrial problems in the form of pertinent technical information and assist in applying it to the particular use of the firm.
However, the basic research done on CRES will probably prove to be the greatest ultimate benefit CRES provides to this region, according to E. Dean Bevan, CRES research publications editor and author of the article. "Already, this research has brought a powerful vote of confidence from NASA in the form of a grant for a $2.3 million Space Research Building at KU."
BUENOS AIRES — (UPI)—A police patrol searching for bandits in the wilds of the Argentine Chaco this spring came across an assertedly 130-year-old chief of the Pilagra Indians, the newspaper "La Nacion" reported.
OLD MAN OF THE CHACO
Photographs showed the chief as a wizened man, bent with age, with white chin whiskers and mustache. The Pilagas live by weaving ponchos and sashes, raising sheep and goats, and hunting and fishing.
In a letter to the editor, Saricks has refuted the notion "that members of Voice or any other students have indicated to me 'that they really would prefer to be opposed than reasoned with,' here."
"I have no knowledge of the sources of your information," he stated flatly.
THE COMMITTEE has been "laboring diligently and in good faith" to make recommendations with wide acceptance, the letter went on, but the results of "our
labor's" cannot be ideal if it supposed to please everyone.
The problem of proper student representation "will not be resolved in a brief period of time, here or anywhere else," Saricks added.
The co-chairman also denied that the committee is composed of two groups, each opposed to each other. "On no issue has there been a simple division of students on one side and faculty on the other."
Instead, differences of opinion are found among the individual faculty members as well as the student members.
